Grow space- I built an 4ft x 4ft x 7ft enclosure in my garage.It is constructed of 2x2 firring strips , coverd with 4 mil black visqueen with insulation inbetween.
Walls are covered with mylar . I used from home depot they have a version of heatshielding(aka the reflective stuff with the air bubbles)much cheaper than products geared toward horticulture but much cheaper. I used this in the ceiling to help with heat from light and to block IR.
This whole system was cheaper than a tent and i believe it is way better insulated to protect against heat / cold.
Equipment- 20 x 19 air cooled hood, 250 w mh for veg ,250 w hps for flowering.
4 in can fan pulls hot air from the ceiling through the light and out through the top exhaust port. Intake is at the bottom a 4in duct port with short pice of duct to prevent light from coming in.
8 in stationary fan for circulation
Humidifyer to somewhat control humidity and it has a cooling effect in the room. I just run it on a timer 30 on 30 off .Humidistat is on my wishlist.
Nutrients- Age Old Organics dry blend grow and flower mix.Jamaican bat gauno, AOO dry kelp also .
Water- started with distilled . I<M using my tap water after having it set out now ph is 6.8 out the tap.Experimenting with molassas in the water.Using 1tbsp to a gallon every watering .
Medium-FFOF staight no ammendments(wish i added something to make it drain better
.IN 3 gallon pot .
Bug control- Insecticidal soap , neem based concentrate,and an permethum concentrate.Sticky traps also.
